Single V-Belts Synchronous Belts

Predator®V-Belts 1" All synchronous belts are identified in a similar manner, in either English or metric units. Belts are measured by:
1. Pitch: Distance in inches or millimeters between two adjacent tooth centers as measured on the belt pitch line.
16 mm 22 mm
5/8"
1/2" 21/32" 7/8" 2. Pitch Length: Total length (circumference) in inches or millimeters as measured along the pitch line. It is
17/32" 35/64"
7/8"
13 mm18 mm
equal to the pitch multiplied by the number of teeth in the belt.
5/16" 13/32" 13 mm
3. Width: Always shown as the last part of the size designation. Denotes width in inches or millimeters.
